Combine Google Maps and Picasa / Picasaweb

Get the GPSx file from your GPS logger and then use a converter such as GPSBabel to convert to KML. Or, in the case of MyTracks on Android which is what I use, you can just re-export to KML. Call this gpslog.kml or some such.

Tag your photos.

Upload GPS-tagged photos to Picasaweb just like always.

Download the file for viewing in Google Earth, except we won't view in Google Earth. You need to add the .kml to this file. Call it photomap.kml or some such.

Interestingly I can see others who are getting the same blank screen from the 'view map' button but cannot see an official response. It's especially odd since the minimap works fine, the images locations show perfectly in the miniature google maps, just not the full screen.
